Rod Kane
Rod Kane is a former businessman and a steadfast New Zealander.
The coalition is two years in and now getting ready for a big marketing campaign to get back in, come October 2026. It is just around the corner. Have they learnt anything?
If I have to say anything positive about Luxon and the Nats, he has done a great job of keeping the team together and the in-house bitching out of the hands of the feral media. They have done some good things, if only half-hearted and at the insistence of his coalition partners, like the repeal of three racist waters, the Māori Health Authority and a number of other initiatives that Ardern and her Māori government landed on us without consultation or care.
It would be fair to say that this coalition got their entry ticket on the back of the voters who had finally had enough of the racism and incompetence of the Ardern/Hipkins years. This country might never recover from the division and hatred that that woman injected into this country. It is inconceivable that she was able to flee this country and take her newly gotten tens of millions of dollars with her, to a life of self-imposed exile and adulation in the US while leaving the rest of us to clean up the mess. We probably never will.
The economy and finances will take decades to sort out, while her ex MPs like Robertson, Jackson, Mahuta, et al, roll in vaults of cash in cushy jobs or retirement.
You might have thought that a new broom would have seen a clear path forward by avoiding all the terrible, arrogant and incompetent mistakes that the previous clown show made. But no, not a bar of it.
The first hint that things were not going to end well for those wanting equal opportunity and democracy was in the first few weeks, when Luxon announced that those of us not wanting treaty principles applied to everything were part of the older six per cent conspiracy theorists. From there on in we were not only ignored, we were actively legislated against.
ACT has been the coalition partner that has worked hard to represent us. Peters on the other hand has applied a lot of good words to the problem but not much else. That notwithstanding, he is an excellent foreign affairs minister.
His deputy Shane Jones has a great line of rhetoric but has done little else. We won’t forgive him and Peters for the three billion dollar slush fund they kept for themselves and lathering it all over Māori interests and marae up and down the country. Many now have concrete drives, signage, built-in accommodation, carparks and floodlighting, huge entertainment areas and cooking facilities, you name it, they have it, all with YOUR money, while you can’t afford the groceries.
But getting back to the Nats, you might have thought it would have been an easy-ish task to get rid of all of Ardern’s racist plants in all second tier govt positions, seats of power in our universities and schools, hospitals etc. You name it... everything down to the Coastguard, St Johns and even the Sallies have been infected with this socialist disease.
He was going to rid the country of the 14,000 Mickey Mouse jobs that Hipkins invented in the public service, but nothing’s changed there either. Just words.
We have pleaded with him and his crew to listen to us, but the arrogance and disdain for our needs and opinions has left us in the appalling position of living in a democratic wasteland.
He just doesn’t want to know. Ask the man anything and you will get the same well-trodden threadbare answer... ‘we are working incredibly hard turning this economy around’.
Yes well that might be the case however it does appear that multitasking has never occurred to him.
If there is one thing that we have to give credit to the tyrannical Ardern and her corrupt Māori Government, it is this: The speed and aptitude that she applied to the destruction of this country at every level, and the handover of control to tribal interests, was just eye popping.
It was in complete contrast to this government’s lethargy in pulling any of it back, in spite of the promises.
We now have a situation where race-based politics and an adherence to a piece of paper with three simple clauses in it, written in the early 1800s, for the early 1800s, and misinterpreted on all sides of the house, now dictates what we can and can not do, and who has to pay who, to do what.
Luxon has not only done next to nothing, he has embedded a lot of this racist garbage into our legislation. It is in our schools, our universities, our health system, our national and local governance, at all levels of second-tier governance and in many of the govt partly funded private institutions. The speaker is weak and ineffective, the judges and judiciary can best be described as a disgrace, the public still funds a rabid and racist TV and press and the BSA is a one sided joke. We can no longer trust anyone.
The country is in a legislative racist shambles.
We are all screaming for change and the Nats just don’t want to know.
Say what you like about polls, they are a pointer to what’s coming down the line, and the last eight polls have shown that over 70 per cent don’t want the Nats in power and 80 per cent don’t want Luxon as the PM.
Wouldn’t you think, in the last year of this term, that would start to ring alarm bells in the Nats camp... particularly when the public actually prefer the appalling prospect of the left again, after all that they destroyed?
We now live in a country where my own son and daughter, with 1/64th Māori blood in their veins, can now go fishing anywhere they like in the Hauraki gulf, but I, as the birth father, cannot.
Is this the sort of country we want to leave to our grandkids?
If this government allow the left-wing lunatics to get back in, your life is going to change forever.
If you have done nothing to stop it up until now, now is the time to start making a really big noise. For pity’s sake, lets all do something.
